Holiday Inn Lincoln

The Courtyard Hotel is in a good location overlooking the Brayford Harbour and University. The hotel has a small lobby with friendly reception staff. We had a King size room which was adequate. No frills but it was clean and everything worked. We only sampled the restaurant/bar area at the buffet breakfast which has a reasonably good selection. We were attending the University for a conference and had an overnight stay at the hotel which was adequate but not what you would choose for a romantic break. We ate in the Cathedral area and... more

If you book in advance and you get a good rate, then this hotel is for. The location for the down town bars and the theatre are excellant. But make no mistake this is a rather drabe hotel with less than average food. The staff are mainly uni students who dont really care. Piped music and under cooked breakfast in the morning and dreadful bar at night. Lincoln is a great city, but stay in the uphill areas, as at night, this is chav ville

daughter and son booked and paid for us as as a break for part of our silver wedding present , we have been several times before and always enjoyed it, perfect location, food, drink, rooms and especially the staff, couldnt be faulted, have stayed at lincoln hotel before and although nice, no comparison to the marriott. the barge restaurant opp hotel does a superb meal too if want a nice. excellent all round. def will return soon

I stayed here for 3 nights in July on business. It was scorching hot outside but I'm pleased to say that the air conditioning worked a treat. The service was good though the directions I received over the phone were not good and I took the long way. Not to worry, Lincoln is a pretty town and there are plenty of nice views. Otherwise, the staff were friendly and competently organised some dry cleaning, taxis on command etc. Breakfast was good too. A nice buffet with some non-fatty food too which was nice and was included in the... more

totally agree with the previous review; wish I had read it first as we had a waterfront view and it was very noisy between 2.00 and 3.00 a.m. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone going to Lincoln. Try The Barge restaurant, at the front of hotel, for a meal, it`s wonderful.

By English standards, this is a great hotel... The best thing about this place is the location: Its next to the cheapest drinks in town at LLoyd's Bar, which has a decent menu to go along with the drink specials. There is about 10 bars/restaurants with 100m of the hotel and the rest are just a few minutes walk towards the cathedral from the waters edge. The bar in the hotel is pricey and barely worth entering. Rooms are nice and big, have wireless internet access, have a decent room service menu, and are very clean... For rooms... more

Stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott on Business in early June, great Hotel, Great location, great service and is the only Hotel in Lincoln with air-conditioning every where!!!!. This is not the cheapest Hotel in the city but then again when comparing to other Hotels in Lincoln it should not be.

I stayed with my fiancee at the Courtyard during the Easter weekend. We had to change dates at short notice and the staff were happy to do that with no extra charge. The room was average but had a nice view of the impressive cathedral. The decor was neutral, only to be spoiled by the floral bed sheets. We had dinner on the first evening and the food was good and fairly cheap. Breakfast was included and was standard. All in all a pleasant hotel to stay in. Close to the station and close to a lot of Lincoln's nightlife. KI... more

To suggest that the Courtyard is good value is beyond belief! The food is over-priced and there are much better places to eat in Lincoln. As an example - a glass of awful red house wine in the hotel's bar - the sort of plonk that would cost you £3.00 a bottle in the local supermarket - will set you back £4.60 in the Marriott. That's just for a glass. If you stay here, eat and drink elsewhere.

I have recently returned from a trip to Lincoln with family and friends after staying at the fantastic Courtyard by Marriott Hotel. After travelling widely throughout the UK I really feel this Hotel deserves a mention and will definately return. The Hotel is located on Brayford Marina in the center of the city with easy access to all shops and attractions. Our room was very spacious with a view over the river and had all the modern facilities including data points in the bedroom which as I have found especially rare when travelling on... more
